Mum's Life

Twin mum quite literally loses her sh*t and we're laughing way too hard

You know the way many shopping centre car parks have a parent and toddler bay these days?

That's a great little perk, isn't it? Perfect for those of us with a full load of kids to get in and out safely and efficiently. 

But more often than not we don't get to use it, because it's full, spaces used up from cars sans children. 

And if you weren't already exhausted from the day's parenting toll, you will be completely drained from the anger that will boil your blood. 

A mum-of-twins from Cardiff was at her local Tesco recently when she bumped into a man who felt it was necessary he park in one of the child friendly spaces. 

She had been at the store to see the local fire-brigade's open day, her husband being the manager, she dropped off his lunch and her boys got to have a mandatory 'nee-naw' moment before it was time to leave. 

Going to the car, the mum-of-two ended up having an encounter with a man who took up the space next to hers: "When I got back to my car an oversized, too old to be a boy racer, pulled into the PARENT AND BABY space next to me as if it was a F1 Pitt stop."

"The break-neck speed made me shit my pants a little. I thought maybe they were giving everything away for free in Tesco to warrant the urgency. I politely gave my sweetest smile and said 'I'm sorry you may not have noticed but these are parent and baby spaces'."

While Mum had thought she was helping this guy out, he kindly replied with a 'so', making the mum-of-two angry but remaining calm, politely replied: "It's really tricky to get a space, sort a baby out, let alone get a double trolley, especially when it's about to rain."

Nonetheless, this man was having none of it, believing it wasn't his problem before Mum suggested maybe he should move his car, to which he angrily replied: "There will be when you leave, now f**k off you fat bitch."

WOAH – if he hadn't already, he certainly crossed a line now. 

"Ohhh how the conversation had turned. I had gone from polite to the burning fires of Hades in five words," added Mum. 

With a lack of sleep, a strict weight loss diet and a name calling stranger at her feet, Mum had certainly lost it, she wasn't about to hold anything back. 

"I tried to keep calm and replied, 'I hope you have kids and experience a really difficult day and a knob like you f**ks you over one day', but it didn't have the desired effect she craved which resulted in this – 'Ohh f**k off and burn your bra somewhere else' while saluting his middle finger. 

The Cardiff mum had enough, she was incensed by his actions and lack of empathy, doing something which she never in a million years thought she'd do. 

"As I turned to the boys in the car there was an overwhelming smell. My heart sank. Then I decided to get even. I used my bad nappy for good."

"A little justice for all knackered parents who have been f**ked over with similar twatty McTwat faces abusing these parking spaces and have had similar experiences."

And we're sure you have guessed what happened next, but in case you're wondering: "Yes that's right… I did it!! I stuck my dirty nappy to his windscreen, securing it with his windscreen wiper."

Mum claimed she instantly felt better after the act, but she was sorry she didn't stick around long enough to see his reaction. 

"I did receive affirmation from another woman who must have witnessed the incident, 'that's genius', as she walked off with a smile."

Now we're not fans of retaliation, however, we do have a smug smile on our faces at the thought of this guy when he returned to his car.
